问题     Kalvero Oberg describes four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed. Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh appeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive.
    When you stay in a new environment for a while, you move to stage two—the crisis stage—in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in. In a relationship, you notice annoying habits; in a new country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. Suddenly, your new major includes a class or a professor you dislike. The difficulties and unpleasantness of reality replace the charming and picturesque "honeymoon". However, if you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase of culture shock: recovery.
    In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language, or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. After about two weeks in London, I began to feel familiar with traveling by "tube", paying in the correct currency, and using some phrases that are unique to English people. I had the advantage of speaking the same basic language and of sharing a great deal with the English in some broad, cultural aspects. In a country that was very different from my own, it would probably have taken me longer to move into the recovery phase.
    Finally, the fourth, or adjustment, phase occurs when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture. You no longer need to make mental conversions of the country’s money and it is relatively easy for you to adjust to social customs. A greater enjoyment of the new experience is now possible, and you may regain some of the initial positive regard you had in the honeymoon stage. If you stay long enough on a visit from a big city to a small town, or, the other way round, you may become so well adapted to the new environment that when you return to your original home, you will again experience culture shock.
Which of the following is true about the crisis stage?
选项 A、The sunshine wears off and the relationship breaks.
B、The annoying realities remove the happiness of honeymoon stage.
C、The difficult situations make the newcomers go back to home countries.
D、It’s hard to learn the language for a few polite phrases.
答案B
解析 下列关于危机阶段的说法中正确的是哪一项?[A]阳光消失、恋爱关系破裂。[B]现实当中的不快取代了蜜月阶段的快乐。[C]艰难的处境使得新来的人回到自己的祖国。[D]学习几句客套话很困难。本题综合考查危机阶段的细节。我们可采取排除法解题。根据[A]中的关键词wears off，回到第二段第一句话。原文是说：shine wears off，此处是引申义，并不是说阳光消失，而是说第一阶段的兴奋消失，而且，作者也没有提到恋爱关系的break(破裂)，所以[A]为错误答案；根据[B]中的关键词happiness of honeymoonstage，可以在第二段倒数第二句话找到相关信息。原文指出：现实中的困难与不快取代了吸引人的生动的“蜜月”，符合[B]的论述，所以为正确答案；[C]的内容文章没有提及；[D]错在原文说的是beyond a few polite phrases(在学会几句客套话之后再学语言很困难)，而不是学几句客套话很困难。
